Summary

Every year, thousands of people in England and Wales walk into a courtroom without a lawyer. Nobody tells them what they are walking into.

This book does. Drawing on the case files of Blind Justice UK, it follows ordinary people through the decision to fight, the paper war, the tactics of the other side, the day in court, the cost, the obsession, the loneliness, and what winning and walking away really feel like. Every chapter ends with what it means for you.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘An enormously valuable, and long overdue, book.’ Rt Hon Lord Smith of Finsbury, from the Foreword

‘Access to justice ought to be one of the fundamental rocks on which our democratic society is built. Sadly, for too many citizens it isn’t. Alone in Court explains why, and it does so in clear, understandable and helpful ways.’ Rt Hon Lord Smith of Finsbury, from the Foreword

‘A litany of real cases of ordinary citizens experiencing the justice system at first hand is what distinguishes this book above all.’ Rt Hon Lord Smith of Finsbury, from the Foreword
